Materials:
- a fork for
everyone
- place mat
- napkin
- apron
- oven mitts
- knife
- wrapped
chocolate bar in many layers of newspaper
- 2 dice and a
rope
Numbers of girls:
8 - 10
Method:
Girls are in a
circle sitting on the floor with the equipment in the centre. The
object of the game is to pass the dice around and the first
person to roll doubles gets the rope from the leader, ties the
required knot (Bowline) and it is checked by the leader to make
sure it is right, then she puts on the apron, oven mitts, places
the napkin under her chin, on the place mat she must pick up the
knife and using her own fork tries to get into the present.
BUT....at the same
time the dice are still going around and as soon as someone else
rolls doubles they tie the knot and if it is correct the first
person must take off the stuff and go back into the circle and so
on. Great fun. Make sure you take two chocolate bars because they
will want to do it again, but twice is enough and the chocolate
should be shared.
